Replenishment Rates
General Departments
Specialist Departments
550 – 730 ml/m²
480 – 820 ml/m²
(70 – 90 ml/350 x 350 mm film)
(60 – 100 ml/350 x 350 mm film)
The above recommendations are based on the requirements of a general hospital department and when
specialised techniques are employed the fixer injection rates should be modified by plus or minus 10 – 15%.
Preparation of Solutions
Full details concerning the preparation of HiS X-RAY FIXER solutions are provided either on the pack labels, or
with the concentrates, and these should be followed carefully. NB: Any information concerning chemical
preparation, marked on the processing machine, or printed in the machine handbook, should be disregarded if it
conflicts with the recommendations printed on the HiS X-RAY FIXER packs or in this leaflet.
NOTE: Extreme care should be taken to avoid cross-contamination of the developer solutions with fixer, since
even small volumes of fixer in the developer will cause large processing variations.
Before a tank is refilled, it should be completely drained, thoroughly cleaned with PROCESSOR SYSTEMS
CLEANER, and flushed out with water.
Preparation of Initial Tank Solutions
The same solution as for replenishment is used for the initial filling of the machine fixer tank.
Storage
Concentrates: All of the HiS X-RAY FIXER
processing system concentrates have a normal
storage life of at least 12 months, when held in
full, tightly capped containers under steady
temperature conditions in the range 13 – 18 ºC.
However, storage temperatures below 5 ºC
should be avoided as some crystallisation may
occur.
Working Strength Solutions: The vat life of fixer
replenisher is 3 – 6 months under temperate
(13 – 18 ºC) conditions. At higher ambient
temperatures this may be reduced by at least
50%.
